PassivSystems has won a contract to find ways of enabling more green gas capacity to be brought onto the UK network.

The firm will work with partners Wales & West Utilities, Cadent and Costain as part of the £2.4 million OptiNet project, to assess whether technologies such as smart pressure control, compression and storage solutions can relieve infrastructure constraints.

Colin Calder, CEO of PassivSystems, said: “Balancing supply and demand on gas networks is becoming more complex with the rising number of distributed gas and biomethane connections.

“To accommodate the breadth of change required to deliver a low carbon, smart energy system, we need to work with our partners to design and future-proof the UK gas network in harmony with the electricity network.”
